Peekaboo! Ummmm....not funny!

My little boy is not at all interested in Peekaboo. When I try to play it, he just looks at me with a serious expression. He normally laughs, giggles and squeals while playing. When do babies start liking the game of Peekaboo? My LO just doesn't seem interested in it. Are any of your LO's loving the game?

Stella is five months and she likes it, but she really likes the high pitched voice that I use when I do the peek-a-boo part. I think that game is all about stupid voices. She also like when I put a blanket over her head and whisk it away really quick, Where's Stella? There she is!!!!" Also involves stupid high pitched voices and far more excitement than truly warranted.

My little guy looks at me like I'm crazy. But then I'll just sit in front of him, stoned faced and say "boo" in a completely normal voice and you'd think I was comedian of the year! Who knows what goes through their minds! Lol

Not all kids are interested in peek-a-boo. Book wise they say 5 months but my daughter loved peek-a-boo since 3 months! But I've played with tons of babies and it's either hit or miss. So don't worry. Play a bunch of different games, made up or traditional, and see what he likes! GL! :)

We've been putting a wrap over Elodie's head and pulling it away for peek a boo for ages - I think from about 6 weeks. She loves it and gets so excited. She kicks it off and is so proud. We're now putting it over her head during tummy time and she pulls it off.

Playing peek a boo where mummy hides and jumps out is hit or miss. She hasn't quite got that I'm still there and once she can't see me, looks around the room for something interesting. She's starting to look where we were a bit longer - I think it's an emerging cognitive skill around this time (haven't checked my intro to psychology notes!).

Audrey loves peek-a-boo! her favorite is when I hide and then jump out... she laughs like a madwoman! she's 5 months (28 weeks today! oh how the time flies..) my mom (who had 4 kids and has a degree in early childhood education and development) was surprised that she was interested in peek-a-boo this early. Also, some of the literature I've read has said babies aren't interested in it until as late as 7 months. I wouldn't worry.

One of my baby books says baby's start to enjoy peekaboo when they understand object permanence. It's funny because they know your face is still there even though they can't see it and they are anticipating it's return. My little dude is 5 months and doesn't get it yet.
